flexible polymer substrate containing a mesh of nanoscale metallic ribbons. The resulting device, only 30 micrometers thick, can be printed onto a silicone patch that sticks to the skin without irritation. Sensors in the thin "electronic skin" monitor vital signs such as pulse, temperature, and vocalization. The devices have potential application in both medical monitoring and treatment.

In another project, electronics were integrated into stretchable materials to create flexible silicone devices that attach to and mimic the texture and elasticity of skin. These have been referred to as "electronic skin" or "electronic tattoos". Instead of hard and brittle silicon chips, Lu created a

Lu has been recognized for her work on the “Flexoelectricity of
Nanomaterials on Deformable Substrates.” By enhancing electromechanical coupling at a nanoscale level using flexoelectricity, mechanical action can be transformed into electrical impulses.

One project which she co-lead developed a ballooncatheter, capable of monitoring heartbeats, pressure, and temperature, while inflating inside the body. The device can increase the safety of heart surgery.
